Fair enough.
Hmm.... I'll look into it.
Any websites you'd recommed?
Can't say I could personally recommend anything. The following are just common suggestions.
Probards seems to be popular for making forums.
If you use a web-based development application to build your site I suggest you find a good one. I know stuff like Google sites is free, but It might be difficult getting a live stream on it and a simple URL.
Wordpress is popular for making sites and supports live chat. I would suggest looking into that. I know the Ludum dare site runs off Wordpress and that has thousands of members. It isn't free though, at $300 a year for the advanced features.
EDIT: Avoid having stuff like .sites.google or .wordpress.com in your URL. You want to look professional.
